Fruitology is the sensorial experience of discovering the pleasures of fruit juices -- their colours, fragrances, tastes and textures. Each one of these elements can separate fine fruit juice from the ordinary. Whether it's the softness of a pulp-free juice, or the thicker texture of a juice with pulp, aspects of exceptional fruit juice can convey the essence of fresh fruit through flavor and texture. In fact, a fine fruit juice should engage all of the senses.
While whole, fresh fruit is often picked before it is ripe and shipped to faraway markets, every glass of Tropicana juice starts with fruit that's picked at the peak of its ripeness. Hence, Tropicana juices are characterized by their bright, intense colours, rich bouquets, full-bodied textures, and luscious flavours.
These simple evaluation techniques will help you to identify quality juices and savor them fully.
- Appearance: To assess the quality of the juice by its appearance, look for the three essential elements -- the radiance, luminance and intensity of the colour.
- Smell: In a fine fruit juice, you should expect to find bouquets, both complex and subtle, and a hint of freshness and citrus that you will not find in ordinary juices.
- Texture: Swirl the juice in the glass to judge its texture, body and substance.
- Taste: The first sip reveals an initial burst of freshness -- synonymous with quality. Swish it in your mouth so that it caresses and awakens all of your taste buds with its sweet or sour flavors, depending on the fruits in the juice. Try to detect the secondary fragrances and subtle sensations fueled by the texture of the juice. Finally, savor the fullness and decadence of the juice, and note the pleasant aftertaste that lingers once you swallow.
